I don't disagree with any of what you've posted.

But it's clear to me that the amount of criticism he receives from certain supporters means that they 'overrate' him. Whichever way you look at it.

They think he should be doing things that he isn't at this stage of his development.

Ps. Are you BenHur/ProDee/YzeMagic/Range/Rover disguised under yet another avatar?

I've swapped over to an Evoque.

 
 

No the problem appears to be Steve that he is trying to play like he did when he started and hasn't yet developed anything like an alternative forward style ie when double teamed,scragged or blocked he hasnt any other way of playing. In some ways he has gone backwards I merely surmised that I hoped that it wasnt the end of his development.He is a gifted player with many flaws at the moment. If he stays he will need a lot of work if he is to become some what of a forward star for us.

Me, Personally, I cannot see it particularly given he is very hard on himself emotionally and somewhat juvenile. Not over or underrated in my opinion

I'm fairly certain he didn't have a "press conference". The players take it in turns to face the media and it was about Jesse's turn. They generally have the media rock up to one training session a week and interview a player afterwards. The duty of that rotates through the players.

 

The media seem to take a huge interest in Hogan. Everything seems bigger than what it is.  On SEN radio there is a poll today titled "Has Jess Hogan's value gone down this season?" Last I heard it was 59% yes.

Yeah absolutely. We're probably just not used to it as we haven't had that sort of attention since Liam Jurrah was around. Hopefully we keep getting more and more attention and more players start being seen as stars and we can attract the next generation of supporters.

Which was raised and argued by a biased WA [censored].

Anyone who thinks a 21 yo super talented kpp has lost value haven't got opinions worth listening to.

The short term fixation is ridiculous

yep, my favourite after linear elamite

It is within Jesse's power to fix this - sign up for the generous contract that is available to him and stop the indecision. The longer this goes on the more likely it is for him to leave. This is becoming very Scully-esque

I think the poll alludes to that big offers may have been made. Most likely from WA and also perhaps a Vic  club like hypothetically Collingwood. And Hogan's non commitment  under pressure and recent average form just adds to the speculation. Rumours  that die quickly are usually wrong. Those that never go away are more likely to be true.

3rd, maybe even 4th, hand info but apparently on SEN this arvo they've floated the trade rumour of Zac Clarke, Barlow and a first round pick for Hogan.

Don't shoot the messenger....

Nothing wrong with floating a rumour or postulating possibilities.

That one, however, I would hope would be rejected out of hand by our admin I'd have thought.

Yep, seems like the kind of starting point that would end discussions before they even started.

Should be Weller,  Barlow and  1st round pick. Clarke is strictly blunt steak knives.

I know your just the messenger, but why would we accept Clarke as a trade when we could just take him as a free agent?

Can I hit you with a stick instead??

I would expect that this is nothing more than a rumour, which you said it is, as neither Clarke or Barlow are necessarily best 22 players for us, while just one first rounder doesn't do much for me.

I'm prepared for more weird and wonderful deals to be floated over the next couple of months - some will be terrific, others will make us gag.

Seeing as Clarke is an unrestricted free agent it's not only unrealistic but ludicrous.

Guys, guys, I think it's a rubbish deal as well, merely passing on info.

 

I thought it was Lachie or nothing ,because they have nothing....

Neale or Weller or both?

the one with the ball all the time.

Realistically we will never get Neale. If Hogan wants out he will have us over the barrell in any case. And an exciting young player like Weller may be of long term value and he is already made.

Would be massive unders for a "once in a lifetime'' player.

Forget Clarke. If Jesse  wants to go, we will feel enormous of pain to the whole enterprise and Freo  should too. Otherwise its simply an unfair trade.

Nah it's Paul, who's advised him to sign with Bermuda in order to avoid paying tax.

Might want to stop the Dad jokes, as I read somewhere his father wasn't well and that was a major part of the pull back home..

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
